About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from Puglia, where the climate is hot and Mediterranean and sea breezes reach the vines. The soils are limestone beneath iron-rich layers.

Vinification

The wine is made by traditional methods. The text gives no further detail on harvest, fermentation or vessels.

Tasting profile

Deep ruby with a brownish tint. The nose combines juicy blackberry and cherry with oak and a delicate hint of tomato. The palate is rich and full of personality.
